Sir Khulu,
The B&C stock for the Ruger M77 Mk II/Hawkeye is a relatively new thing.
They make it with a big barrel channel that easily accepted a #5 Shilen Sporter.
You won't have to do much sanding to fit a fat .458 barrel.
They call it a "free-float magnum" barrel channel, 2.0 lbs stock weight, 13.625" LOP with 1" Decelerator.

I had to sand the B&C Win M70 Short/WSM stock quite a bit to get a #4 Pac-Nor Sporter to fit,
2.25 lbs approx. stock weight, 13.625" LOP with 1" Decelerator.

The B&C Win M70 Long Action had a little bigger barrel channel, about a drop-in for #4 McGowen Sporter,
2.0 lbs stock weight, 13.75" LOP with 1" Decelerator.

The B&C CZ 550 Magnum stock is a drop-in fit for the factory contour, same on all, .375, .416, .458.
2.5 lbs stock weight, 14.125" LOP, aluminum endoskeleton runs from rear of grip through forend tip sling stud attachment.
I sanded one of these out to fit a McGowen barrel made to Pac-Nor #6 Sporter contour with shortened breech cylinder/knoxform:

Grip circumference on the CZ 550 Magnum palm swell is just a smidge bigger than that on the Ruger M77 and Winchester M70 models.
I like that Ruger M77 MkII/Hawkeye stock just fine.
